Dying to Live is really all about "living"

I started this blog to help others die to the things that are keeping them from truly living. I talk about everything from taking every thought captive to making healthy choices when eating. I have been on this journey for over 15 years now and finally decided it's time to share it with others. Come join me and learn why we must die in order to truly LIVE!

  20. Cheesecake Factory- Grilled Salmon or a salad ...probably best to stay away from this one:)
  21. Great Harvest - Good Sandwiches on whole grain breads
  22. Green Belly- It was ok but not great
  23. Ruby Tuesday- Salad Bar
  24. Annie's used to be Camille's
  25. Paradise Bakery-salads
I would love to hear any of your favorite places that have healthier choices.

The healthiest choice is to cook at home but if you are looking for healthier options when eating out this is a good reference list.

Happy Dining!

#16 is that McFoster's Natural Kind Cafe? If so, that is my most favorite restaurant in Omaha! We go there when ever we get a chance. Blue Planet wasn't very good when we went, but we went the first week it was open. We'll have to try it again. Great suggestions! Thanx!
